This is no way to live and I’m getting sick of it.
No matter what I do the end result is the same. Random good days and bad days.
As for meds, I can’t tolerate 20mg Abilify otherwise I’d give it a go. I’m on 15mg. It’s kept me out of hospital for 8 years so I’m terrified of changing it for another med.
It’s all just soul destroying and demoralising.
Oh try to hang in there @everhopeful
If you can’t tolerate 20mg of Abilify, maybe you’d be able to tolerate 17mg.
It’s worth a shot.
I understand. There’s some days we wake up feeling as if everything is going wrong. No reason why.
Try to do some self care. Get a shower, put on fresh clothing, take a walk. Watch some comedy. Read a book if you can. Eat something delicious.
I hope you feel better.
Ah man sorry, I’ve been getting like that recently. Usually having something to look forward to like a show or some yummy food helps me. Also taking a break from anything triggering might help. Overall a well rounded day helps me from spiraling into distress.
I don’t know if you like comedy but perhaps funny video on youtube might help a bit, just to sort of take your mind off of the stress and I agree with the above poster about self care, take care of that too.
Take care and feel better.
This happens to me too. I find that often the quality of sleep predicts how my day will feel. Getting good sleep is crucial. But sometimes even if I do everything right with preperations in the evening I still don’t sleep well. Like you say, it’s hard to make sense of it all.
Today I’ve been feeling very heavy in the head. Wonder if it’s because I quit coffee a couple of days ago. Had to give it up because my ulcer started acting up again. Even though I only drank 1 cup a day. A lot of acid in coffee.
I’m sorry. It’s so hard to deal with the ups and downs. I hope you start getting more good days than bad
Publish your short poems…they are always sweet, provocative and on point. Seriously, collate all of them from over the years on this forum and find a buyer.
We all believe in you on this site…start believing in yourself and get paid for all of that creativity! 
I know its the same old
At least you have good days some of us everyday is bad
My husband has an operation tuesday and my dads picking me up taking me back to theres for few hrs, im dreading it is such an upheaval. I can’t cope with anything much.
Hugs
Wishing you better days.
If you do well with Abilify, maybe try Rexulti. Meds stop working sometimes. Best to be proactive and get it changed while you’re able to do it outpatient. Before things get really bad.
